Just turn and walk away
the same damned way you came,
you're stepping on my toes again,
and I'm sick of you,
sick of this,
sick of them,
sick of fucking everything,
and it's my fault but I
hate it just the same
I'm slicing off one layer
of pain today
because I'm sick of feeling guilty
for feeling this way
one step back
towards myself
one step towards
liberation
Why can't you just let me be?
You helped me draw the lines,
and now you step over them,
I feel worthless enough all the time
all I want here is a structure well-defined
and I've been more than fair,
I just want to do my share and derive
some satisfaction from all
of this small parameter
of my control
and my responsibility
and my poor excuse for freedom
in this piss-poor shit job, this
ass-end position at the
bottom of the barrel
where shit piles up
and I drown in it,
where we all drown in this
sea of low-wage and
meaninglessness.
Just let me earn my way
let me break my back
to make ends meet
don't step on my feet again
I won't feel guilty then
for bashing your head in.
